Finding a Means to an End

Now that I’m almost done with school, I find myself thinking a lot about my future. I thought that through my college career I’d figure out what I want from life. Here I sit, years later, only having a little more knowledge of what I want.Yes, I’ve grown up a lot, learned many things and have matured… I am a completely different person than I was in May of 2005. Too bad being a different person doesn’t mean you knows what you want.

I’ve started to think a lot about what I want out of a career, out of a relationship, out of a lifestyle.I’ve started to contemplate what life goals I was to set for myself, and how I am going to achieve these goals. I wish it was as much fun doing what it takes to get something as it is to get it.

In a way, I feel that in the romantic relationship aspect of my life, I have taken a large step backwards. I thought I knew what I wanted. Quite frequently I am faced with the question “is that really what I want?” I’ve gone from being very picky and having a “list” of qualities “my man” should possess, to only knowing a few key points. I know I want someone who will be loyal, trustworthy, will make me feel like I’m the only person for him, has standards, and is smart. Beyond that, I’m not entirely too sure. I'm back to square one. A musician would be wonderful though!

When it comes to my career, I find myself mostly thinking about all the things I would like to do. I don’t regret what my degree is in, but the degree doesn’t stop me from wanting to do other things. I constantly have a desire to learn new things. I am pretty sure I’d like to go back to school and get another degree… the most prominent in my mind being in psychology… but I’m still not sure. Since I’m not actively attending school, I sometimes wonder if music education is really what I want to do…. But then I step into a classroom, or listen to a concert, and find myself missing the podium. I have the toughest time when listening to the U of U wind ensemble… I find myself conducting in my seat at concerts. Is that a bad thing? One thing I am seriously thinking about though, is starting my own music school. If I want to do that, I need to continue to hash out details, and figure out what I’d want the school to be, to represent, and to accomplish.

Another question I contemplate… where do I want to spend my life? Where do I want to raise a family? I love Utah, but is it the right place for me? Through my college career I’ve been to so many great places! But are those places somewhere I’d like to live, or somewhere that is simply nice to visit?

Lastly… I’ve started to think about all the amazing things and experiences I’d like to do in my life. I never really thought about the things I’d like to do until an occasion with a tarantula. While hanging out with my wonderful friend, Eric, we went to a children’s museum where he works. He introduced me to his darling little friend… the tarantula. I can’t recall her name, but I was TERRIFIED. He kept telling me to hold her and I declined, until I realized “if I don’t hold this tarantula, I will wish for the rest of my life that I had done it.” So I held that darn tarantula!Since then, I think about the things I’d like to do, whether I’m comfortable with it or not… and I have done many things outside my comfort zone. If you have any ideas of awesome stuff I should do, let me know!

So… I guess right now in my life, I am trying to find a means to an end… I am trying to find what I want to do with my life to make it the most fulfilling and wonderful I can possibly make it be.It’s great to have so many options with what I want to do in my life. I love being in a position where I can settle down, or do something crazy!

Yay for striving to achieve a wonderful life.
